Melissa Clark has become one of America's most trusted and respected food authors. Who wouldn’t want to drop by her place for dinner? With Favorite Recipes, we can do the next best thing and make her family-tested recipes in our own homes. I love when a recipe shows its roots from a real kitchen; Clark's cornbread originally got its distinctive flavor when she was distracted from cooking the butter, which then overcooked into a nutty flavored goodness. Her Celery Salad came from wanting salad, only to find wilted lettuce, but there was plenty of that refrigerator stalwart, the celery. Many of us would have closed the refrigerator door and gone off to sulk hungrily, but not Melissa Clark. She pulled together a cheesy, nutty, crunchy meal. This is a cookbook that can be relied on to produce good stuff from your kitchen. Recommended By Tracey T., Powells.com
